@@himjim2469 OMG this fucking joke. That was from the Behind The Iron Curtain VHS. Still got mine. Been making this joke since Seventh Son dropped. Rich the Ancient Metal Beast
I don't know what's more impressive, the musical mashup or combining two bands from opposite ends of the spectrum yet with the same wardrobe. Nary a sleeve in the joint. Excellent as always.
I literally bought into RU-vid Music just so I could have Bill and a few other mash-up artists' playlists downloaded straight onto my phone. It's like I got an iPod full of these wild creations.
I once passed an upscale restaurant playing the String Quartet Sabbath CD. All these bourgeosie chuckleheads with their Chateaubriand and vintage wine had no idea they were basically listening to "We Sold Our Soul For Rock 'n' Roll" having no clue.
But it is cut short but yes Adrian the so called more commercial sounding iron maiden writer trooper solo although edited adds a nice contrast to this Mashup and I am a huge iron maiden fan.
This only proves how awesome "Maniac" is. Yes, it's 80's pop music but back then pop songs had great musical arrangements and talented people recording them
Pop in the 80s was usually pop-rock, so there's that. And synth pop, which was the 80's equivalent of piano rock like Elton John. So, yeah, 80s pop was really good stuff.
Funny the comercial song Adrian never wrote. And if maiden recorded the trooper sounding like this Steve Harris would have gotten pissed thank God maiden never worked with mutt Lange. As mutt would have wanted maiden songs to sound like this like he ruined Def leopard.
Phase? You mean the Roland synth-GUITARS ( you said it was pop?) used on "Somewhere in Time"?.... Steves Bass is front and centre like its always been ( its his band ) - i dont really know what you mean.....
I see the titles of these videos and think, "That's so weird. How the hell does that work?" Then I listen and think, "That's so weird. How the hell is this working?" You are a mad genius, Bill.
@@Andystuff800 yeah if you watch his interviews he explains exactly how he does it and he makes it sound surprisingly straightforward. He’s never combining two truly random songs; he finds two songs written with the same rhythm/musical structuring and that’s the essence of what makes these possible and how they can fit surprisingly well. I don’t know a ton about music but an example is the most common rock beat is “4/4”, where it’s 4 bars of 4 notes/beats each, repeating throughout the song. If you think of 2 or 3 classic rock songs, you can probably count in your head: 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, ..and then you’ll notice that’s precisely when it changes to the chorus, which also fits exactly this timing. PS: the opposite are the most random “time signatures”, bands like TOOL and Mudvayne even switch between multiple peculiar time signatures during a single song, which is pretty cool. Even Master of Puppets has some distinct changes like if you think about the middle breakdown “Master! Master! Where’s the dreams that I’ve been after?”, then the solo, but especially at the end of the solo when there’s a pause, before it resumes with “......It was worth all that”. I remember seeing in Guitar Hero how the music bars would suddenly have this bizarre bunched-up segment during that silence (with no notes 🟢🔴🔵🟡🟠 on them) and I always wondered what it meant, until I learned this.
@@Syclone0044 4/4 is very danceable. After that, 3/4 (waltz) or even 6/8 (military march), although such is FAIRLY rare.. 4/4 is the absolute go-to. I was a music student and was surprised how much of this stayed steeped in my head. I talked with Brian Hazard once, who covered Depeche Mode's "Shake The Disease"- he went from a straight 4/4 to a 3/4 waltzy beat, combining the cover with some composition content from "Shouldn't Have Done That". I guess when you go to school and have enough music theory drilled into your head, it never leaves you
Whenever I hear the lyric "she dances like she's never danced before" I always imagine it being as if she never has danced before i.e. a total newbie, limbs flailing. And a maniac. I just love that mental image. You're welcome
Too complete opposites put together gotta love the humor considering I am a die hard maiden and in the past Bruce and Adrian were accused of bieng the commercial ones in maiden always trying to push maiden in more commercial directions. I guess this Mashup would be the type of song that would have been the more commercial sounding song Adrian never wrote.
Sembello was a hell of a shredder himself (he plays the solo on the original) but I see your point, the galloping adds so much, genius as always on Bill's part
😍 Jennifer Beals 😍 Bill is the Les Claypool of this Genre 😆 Hybridcore is a MUST for the Grammys 😆 " And the winner for breakthrough artist of the year....Bill McClintock, congratulations !!!! " 😆
I finally figured out why I love these mashups. Each song stands on its own. But when they are mixed, they become parodies of each other. Makes my brain laugh and smoke.
You've turned this song into a tale of a battalion going up against a Russian Dancing Maniac, and them getting slaughtered in the process... Amazing work again sir.
I don't know who Mr McClintock is, but imo he probably is some legendary music producer. There's no way an amateur RU-vidr could make these brilliant mashups. It's a work of a genius.
Woah woah woah, the gods of mash up are commenting on each other now. This is dangerous. If a mash up mash up happens the universe could implode on itself.
I am a diehard Iron Maiden fan and this mash is absolutely brilliant! I was in tears when Bruce started belting “You’ll take my life, but I’ll take yours too” to the Flashdance synth.
The dueling guitars section was both so seamless and perfect that I had to back it up just to watch that part alone five or six times. This one is definitely another feather in your cap! Keep them coming!
OMG!!!! This is ....😲😲😲🤩🤩🤩☺️....more than awesome!!! I'm speechless. So we can say that "she's dancing like a trooper!!!"(a gorgeous trooper! ❤️) ... Thumbs up,of course!!! 👍🏻👍🏻✨✌🏻♥️🇮🇹🙋🏻♀️🤟🏻
The intro with bruce weiling...someone need to record this! So amazinh mashup!!! Very powerfull bruce waving the flang going to war! He will win ofcourse with the hairy guy on his side!!
When my band plays our punk/metal version of loverboy working for the weekend i always sneak in a trooper chorus yell and lead guitar line. And we also do maniac and have not thought to mix these 2. Impressive. Most impressive.
Same as with the Earth, KISS and Fire mashup, McClintock adds another layer to Iron Sembello that just blows my mind: the source materials are from the same year. In the case of "Boogie Wonderland" and "I Was Made for Loving You" both are 1979; in the case of "The Trooper" and "Maniac", both 1983. Little details that just make my day... p.s. Often, the names of your neobands and neosongs are just brilliant! "She's a Trooper", hahaha.
Omg this is frickin amazing…I’m a huge Maiden fan and this might be their best collaboration ever!!! I actually couldn’t stop laughing friggin awesome!
Bill, like a wizard you manipulate and mix paradoxical elements from my childhood. It is always a pleasurable experience but now I think you have reached new heights!
That would have been funny Eddie the ead in a leotard and maybe throw in vic Rattlehead in cross dressing and the helloween pumpkin in there in a dress. Would beat pop junk any day.
